Ronald Reagan actually said...

"America has lost a distinguished public servant and symbol of America's quest for decency in a tumultuous era."

"Nancy and I were saddened, as were all Americans, by the recent death of Henry Cabot Lodge."

"Henry Cabot Lodge's sense of personal honor and his devotion to country remain an inspiration to those of us who knew him."

"Henry Cabot Lodge was celebrated for his eloquence on behalf of the American cause."
